More on Shimokitazawa

I had heard about cat cafes in Tokyo, but bunny cafes (Usagi Cafes) ? Well, in Tokyo nothing is too weird!

It's a coffee shop where you can hang out with rabbits and eat bunny-shaped food. Cafe’s rabbit “staff” are not for sale but customers who want to buy rabbits can purchase the animals from the cafe’s breeding center.

Japan's quirky culture keeps me more and more amazed.

Thrift stores in Shimokitazawa were really reasonably priced and as Japanese are brand-crazy people, stores are full of clothes from Celine, Prada, Balenciaga, not to mention Comme des Garcon and Yohji Yamamoto. I scored a black Dior silk blouse almost for nothing!

Secondhand record stores are another reason why many people go to Shimokitazawa.
